Volkswagen AG says it will release a high-performance version of its Golf subcompact economy car called the Golf R. While some small-car fans might call it the ultimate Golf GTI, the new R model is meant to run with a higher-end crowd.

And it has the price to prove it. VW says the two-door R will start at “just $33,990,” or roughly double the cost of a base Golf and $10,000 more than the GTI, which has always been hard to beat when you’re measuring fun per dollar. The four-door model with a sunroof and navigation system will cost $36,090.
